Hello everyone! I hope everyone had a wonderful week!
So, today marked my last day on site! I can’t believe SRP are basically over :(
This week, I spent a good chunk of my time on site working on my presentation and finalizing all the details of the variant study! While working on my presentation, I found myself wanted to talk about all the rare diseases I had seen, the neurological tests, and the course of treatment. But, since my research was only specific to one person, I had to limit that and talk about the one patient in lots of detail.
Aside from getting the chance to see so many rare neurological disorders, I think my favorite part of this internship was how interactive I got to be with some of the patients. Whether it was playing with a child while Dr. Narayanan talked to the parent about their problem, or holding a puppet elephant to help test for eye movement, I was able to engage the patient while helping in the evaluation process.
My main goal with this internship was to experience what it was like to work in a doctor's office and learn about how genetics and genetic testing can be used to make personalized treatment plans for each patient. I have truly enjoyed every part of this SRP process!
I’m planning on continuing working with Dr. Narayanan during the summer and will continue learning about the process of exome sequencing! But, a huge thank you to you guys for reading my blog every week (and complimenting my gifs)!
Here's another cute gif! See you guys next week for my final post!
Hi Anjalee! Once again, the gifs give me life. Sounds like you had another great week! It has been quite the experience reading your posts every week, and I always looked forward to it. Thank you for teaching us about such a cool topic!
